oh hi, I replied to you sa pikas thread.
Centennial College tuition is around 14k, that is one of the most reasonable rates as far as I know. I don't know about the other colleges lang labi na ang outside Toronto. If you aren't willing to spend that much, I don't think you have many choices ....
Converting from tourist visa to an open work permit or resident visa is much more complicated. Basin kinahanglan nimo mag consult og immigration expert nga Pinoy nga naa na sa Canada

Let us know kung unsa ang naa sa imong CAIPS notes. Daan pa lagi ko naay patong ang Enhance ana, grabe jud. Anyway, remember that answering the concerns in your CAIPS notes is still all on you, ayaw ug salig sa imo agency to help you answer kay pataka raba na sila sometimes.
Good luck!
Hi Scorpio1641! Sure yes, ishare nako. Thank you for your reminders! :D

Hi Scorpio, I need your suggestions :) And baka from others pud. :)

Ang nakabutang na reasons are:

1. employment prospects in country of residence (Pero naa ko gi-submit na "Certificate of Study Leave" signed by HR)
2. current employment situation (Wala ko kaayo idea unsaon i-deal ni. Employed ko diri sa akong current job since Aug 2014, nagpresent pud kog Cert of Employment.)
3. personal assets and financial status (wala koy gisubmit na personal assets kay wala man. hehe naa ko contract to sell pa lang sa isa ka property na gina-bayaran nako monthly ug mga receipt sa insurance na gina-bayran pud nako monthly. hehe.. Pwede kaya ipresent to?)

Ang akoang sponsors are my Aunt (sis ng Mom nako) and husband niya na American. Taga California sila. They even presented "affidavit of support" na naka-red ribbon from Philippine Consulate ng LA.

For now, magrequest pakog CAIPS notes (as advised by ENHANCE). Mga 1 month daw waiting ana.

Hi SCORPIO, bisaya pod ko.... eheheh, nagbasa basa ko ani kay kita ko sa katong mga topics sa International Students.
Hi RDPLDO sakto si Scorpio, ang ENHANCE dili na sakto mu hatag og advice. Sauna sa ilaha sad ko nag pa process and you know what happened? GRABI KA DAKO ANG DAMAGE SA AKONG PROFILE. I thought normal ra na madeny ka... like basin bias ang visa officer, mao ako nathink ato sauna... devastated kaayo ko kay I thought nabuhat na namo tanan sa akong ginikanan ang dapat buhaton but it turned out REFUSED. IGO RAKO GI-INGNAN SA AKO AGENT NA "MAM DENY KA" mao ra.... and all the money were wasted. SUKAD ATO WA NAKO NI BALIK NILA. And, then nag lodge ko sa akong application thru my OWN but after a few months deny gihapon. SO WHY IS THIS SO KAHA? Akoa man gi try ako best sa akoa second application, so WHY KAHA?

Then, just this year nag pa CAIPS notes ko.. (PERO DILI SA ENHANCE, BUT SA USA KA IRCC AGENT)
after waiting for almost 3 months, ni GWAS ANG RESULT.

Kahibaw ka unsa?
DENY KO kay tungod sa 1 month na employment experience nako.. and I was like, HUH? 3 years na gani ko karon naga work (lahi2x employer hinuon) after nako ni graduate.. GI UNSA PAG 1 month na kumpleto man ako COEs gihatag.. nakabutang sa CAIPS NOTES: No employments record from MARCH 2013 to NOV 2014 and Nov 2014 to March 2015. why oh why nga EMPLOYED man ko while ga apply ko sa ENHANCE...So, ingon ang IRCC na para mas ma=address niya unsa ang advice ato... iyaha daw iextract ang physical files (kato tanan gisubmit na documents). OKAY WORST PART: WALA GI SUBMIT SA ENHANCE AKO COE. Kato 1 month is naa sa akong Application Form...... 1 month experience ga himo2x letter ako agent didto na wala ko kasabot unsa purpose unya walay signature(ambot bitaw)...

So ngano kaha gi question ko about these:
-current employment sitauation
-employment prospects in the country of residence
-personal assets and financial status.

KUNG 1 month raka ga work, natural mu question ang VO na UNSA MAN NA IMONG CURRENT EMPLOYMENT SITUATION, ka wala ba nakoy klaro na 2013 ko ni graduate pero nag work ko 1 month lang? Nag unsa ko sa 2 years sa akoa life (2015 ko ni Apply ani)

*If 1 month lang ka nag work, natural pod na iquestion nila kung naa pakoy balikan na trabaho...
* And, last but not the least, how can you have you establish your own financial status nga wala gani kay trabaho 1 month lang...



So, if I were you.........
Think twice kay basin samot ka daot imo profile. Ako gani kay grabi na kaayo kog huna huna unsaon nako ni pag address tanan na dili man nako ni sala :( mao nag sige nalng jud kog pangayo tabang sa mga naa sa forum..

HALAAA!!! missrome grabeha pud diay ana imo experience oi. Naghigda na ko, napasit-up jud ko kay nibukal ako dugo lol. If you backread this thread, naa pay lain diri nga sayop sayop jud ang Enhance. Grabeha ka-incompetent ana oi, naunsa. Mahal baya kaayo ila agency fee, ha. Mao na, even if you have an agency, kinahanglan you should be on top of it jud, ayaw og salig sa lain (this is for the people who read the thread). Di lang Enhance ang agency nga aanga-anga. Mao na mas maayo jud you apply on your own. I'm so sorry jud nga nasayang imo time and money!

The good news is - it is not too late for you. Pwede ka muapply usab, with the right documents and COE and write the VO a letter explaining why you were denied the past two times. Common ra na ang ma-deny twice, then sa third try, makalusot. Pero ayuha jud imo documents, make sure everything is authentic and in order. Then apply. Ayaw pagdali.

With regard sa imo inquiry about Centennial College, go to this link: https://www.centennialcollege.ca/admissions/international-education/admissions/how-to-apply/ ... naa na diha ang online application and all the steps that you have to do.

Good luck. Pangutana lang diri sa thread anytime kung naa kay concerns :)

Hi SCORPIO... Kmsta na diay dra? Khbw ka, murag na excite ko gamay aning akong next plan na mag apply balik og visa... kay siguro murag na klaro na gamay asa ko padulong ani sa process sa application. Dili man ko sure if ma-approve ba ko pero at least naa koy mapangayuan advice unsaon pag lodge og pag organize sa mga documents unlike before na wala jud...

mao lagi, lain kaayo ang ENHANCE ayy... karemember jud ko sauna na ni ingon to ako agent na "nagwonder pod daw sila y daw na deny nga usually daw basta ENHANCE kay approve jud daw... nasuko na daw gani ang owner kay y ing-ana ang EMBASSY karon," mura pag sala sa VO nganong nadeny.. ahhy, grabi lagi... then just a few months ago, murag mga MAY 2016 siguro... ni tawag mi sa ilaha kay ako na ipatransfer nalang unta sa akoa aunt ang akong account, during this time kay wala pa mi naka CAIPS notes... tpos, pag adto sa akong aunt sa ENHANCE lami kaayo iya pagkasulti na pag AUSTRALIA nalang mam, kuyog mo sa imong AUNT... hala oyy,,,,,,,,,,,,, mangawarta jud ayy... na discourage akong aunt kay gi-ingnan na ang nursing course sa canada kay 800K full payment bayran... uuuy, naa baya daghan dre na nursing na nag apply wala man tawon nag full payment.. GRRRRR... samot ka discourage ako aunt... tpos nahibaw-an pajud namo ang result sa CAIPS notes.. wala najud... murag mabulok nalang to among gi bayad didto kay kinsa pamay mugamit ato na dili man sila masaligan...


*THANK YOU kaayo sa help, SCORPIO... :D
Kanang, pila gani to ang imo gi pay sa Centennial atong para mareserve sa ka og slot sa course....?
Murag naka back read ko before na anha raka ni bayad full katong approved na ang visa nimo... Mas nindot btaw ing-ana aron dili pa sad kaayo dako ibayad while ga huwat pa sa result.

Thank you kaayo SCORPIO.. :)

^ oo, kaya kaayo na imo case. Pirmi lang jud pangutana diri sa forum, and you have everything you need na.
Nagconsult baya ko sa Enhance before, then maayo na lang jud because of a friend's advice, I decided to do it on my own. Lisud man gud nang uban na agency after makuha nila ang imo money, wala na silay paki pataka na lang. It is not true that you need the full payment of the tuition dayon jud, ana lang jud na sila to ensure nga matali imo money sa agency .... dili na ka kaback-out og dili ka kapangita ug lain nga agency.

IIRC, I only paid 1,500 to reserve my slot, then nibayad ra ko sa ako tuition pag approve sa ako visa. Pwede ra jud.

MGA BISAYA TABANG!

Hello Everyone! My name is Mike and I am applying for a Study Permit in Canada.
I applied 5 Days ago.
Date of Application: October 12th, 2016

I applied through Paper Application at VFS, Cebu that is located at the 9th Floor Keppel Building.

Question 1: CAN YOU GUYS TELL ME HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM YOUR APPLICATION?

Documents Submitted:
• Letter of Acceptance from Centennial College
• Letter of Explanation
• Original Passport (Together with my Expired Passport)
• Proof of Income (My parents will be sponsoring my studies so I submited the following:)
- Notarized Letter of Support from my parents with a Signature of my lawyer.
- Bank Certificate of My Parents ( BDO)
- Bank Statements for the last 24 Months (BDO)
- Land Title of My Parents
• School Credentials: Bachelors Degree Diploma & TOR, High School Diploma & TOR, Diploma of Hospitality
• Application Made Outside Canada, Family Information, 2 Document Checklist
• NBI Clearance
• Up Front Medical ( From Nationwide Health Systems Cebu, Inc.)
• NSO: Birth Certificate


QUESTION 2: Do you guys think that I have a high chance of getting an Approval Letter?

I am worried because the program that I took was a 2 year College Diploma and they might be wondering why I am planning to take it even though I have graduated a 4 Years Bachelors Degree here in the Philippines. I forgot to explain it on my letter of explanation but I hope they are already aware about the educational standard that we have here in the Philippines.

I am also thinking about the proof that I will leave Canada after my studies because I was unemployed after my graduation and never tried working since birth. October 2014 ko ni graduate. Pero dependent raman ko sa ako parents and if they are going to based it on my Travel History, I've been to Hong Kong, Korea, Japan and Canada. ( I visted Canada last month and stayed 3 weeks for Vacation)
Do you guys think that it is enough proof that I am going to leave Canada after my stay? Ang ako gibutang sa last paragraph sa ako Letter of Explanation kay I am planning to put and manage my own hotel in my country.

Please share your experiences if you guys got refused or got approved. Mga Kababayan, let's HELP each other.
I will give you guys an update of my results.
I hope they will approve my application because my class starts at January 2017.

Hi! I'm also planning to go to Centennial but nag prepare pa ko sa akong documents for third time application. Naa si Scorpio sa Centennial pod..
I think most of the courses/programs sa Centennial kay post-secondary diploma/college diploma.... Based on my experience a previous refusals, it all depends jud sa imong SOP... like, state ka didto y wla ka work experience? The reasons... why? And, why mu study ka sa Canada. Mao man gud ako naLearn from the people here sa Forum and based on experience pod.

Mao lagi. Wa sad koy sure enough ba to ako na mention sa SOP. Nakamention man sad ko didto nga plan nako mag make ug Business dinhe sa Philippines after sa program. Mayunta ma kita sa VO nga ang reason ngano wa ko ni work kay gusto ko mag make akong own business someday. Pero wa lagi na nako nabutang unsay reason ngano wa koy work. Ampo nalng jud. :(
